Assistant Women’s Soccer Coach (Part-Time)

About the position

Ironclad women’s soccer plays home matches at Millwright Stadium by the Porter River, carries a roster of about 25, and posted a team GPA of 3.46 last season. Like every program at Porter, it offers no athletic scholarships, and practice is scheduled around labs and clinical rotations rather than the reverse; the team page has the program’s record and roster.

The assistant coach works directly with the head coach on training, scouting, and recruiting, with particular responsibility for goalkeepers and set pieces. Hours are heaviest from August through early November and lighter in the spring.
